Barossa German

Made a new beginning: Since 1842, the immigration of Germans who had emigrated in search of ( religious ) freedom from Silesia, Prussia and Posen and now at Bethany ( Bethany today ) took place.

The dialect joined the German language with the use of English words. However, he was closely modeled on the German high-level language than, say, the similar resulting Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch in the USA. A set of example is: The rabbit is gejumpt over the fence and has the carrots abgenibbelt ( The bunny hopped over the fence and has nibbled the carrot ).

During the First World War, the use of the German language in Australia has been actively suppressed. So German place names were renamed. Also immigration broke out from Germany to the war. As a result Barossadeutsch increasingly disappeared and is now rarely spoken.
